Forgotten War Heroes Who Changed The World - The Fat Electrician - #1165

A military-history creator argues governments stopped glorifying war heroes once fractional reserve banking removed the need for war-bond celebrities.

• Fractional reserve banking theory: The Fat Electrician argues the US stopped glorifying war heroes after WWII because war bonds (which needed celebrity heroes to sell) became unnecessary once America left the gold standard and could print money.
• Medal of Honor politics: He claims modern medal criteria weigh political 'flight risk' as much as battlefield valor, fearing a decorated hero could become an uncontrollable public voice.
